The international Codex Alimentarius Conference is taking place this week and on

the agenda is a proposal that could set back

existing efforts to require labeling of foods made from or containing GMOs. It

is critical that US negotiators get a strong message

urging them to oppose this dangerous policy.

US negotiators are taking the scientifically-questionable position that foods

containing GMOs are not different from conventional

foods, claiming labels that say GMO or non-GMO are misleading - while at the

same time Congress has failed to pass legislation

requiring better labeling of such foods!

This is a serious threat to those fighting for better labeling laws nationwide,

and we must act now.

The evidence and concern about the dangers associated with GMOs continues to

grow, and last year the American Academy of

Environmental Medicine called for a moratorium on all genetically-modified

foods. According to a Nielsen survey the fastest growing

claim among store brands in 2009 was " GMO-Free " , and consumers are more and more

frequently choosing non-GMO brands (53% of

Americans say they would avoid GMOs if they were labeled).

We need to mobilize the strong base of support for labeling into a force for

policy change. Our elected officials must acknowledge

the public demand for labeling and oppose any policy inconsistent with that

demand.
